RS wheels on S3?

[willster1978]

I've just acquired my 2001 S3 but think it would look good with prettier rims... There's so much on the market though, I'm not sure what to go for. RS style, 18" is currently favourite. Anybody done this, and have photo? I imagine 19" wouldn't do the handling any favours?

What should I be paying for RS wheels and tyres? There are replica sets on ebay for £400 inclusive, but I have my suspicions that they may be made of cheese.

Thanks. I know nuthin...

The general conscious on here is that 18's are about as big as you want to go and not affect handling to much.

19s are for posing and make the ride a bit more uncomfortable (is what i am led to believe anyway) I have 18s on my S3 and no problems, they actually weigh slightly less than my standard 17s with tyres.
